REVIEW
Andrew: Hello readers! Sarah and I just got back from the local cinema where we saw the first of this week’s new releases – Hope Springs, starring Meryl Streep, Tommy Lee Jones and Steve Carell. It’s directed by David Frankel, who previously directed Streep in the 2006 hit The Devil Wears Prada, and also directed Marley & Me.
Now Sarah, we haven’t had a chance to preview Hope Springs yet because it came out on a Wednesday and our weekly preview won’t be until tomorrow. But it’s safe to say this is one we’ve been looking forward to seeing for a bit now. Now that we’ve seen it, what did you think?
